Which reminds me, sorry to butt in, but what is India's position on image filters?

Its your call "Commons Admins". There is some (hidden and very thin ) dividing line between porn and naked.
I am told that in some Middleeast countries, where there are restrictions on webcontent, Wikipedia is also used by youngsters for porn/naked (whatever you feel correct) pictures/content.
I don't have any knowledge of the previous threads. Its your(admins) call ultimately. -Sudhanwa

And what you want us (Commons Admins) to do Sudhanwa? Delete all picture with a naked person in it? That didn't go well the last time someone tryed ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Sexual_content/Archive_3).
and btw, why just nude people? Muhammed are forbidden by Muslins laws and we have http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Depictions_of_Muhammad (not to mention that 2/3 of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Muhammed are drawings and pictures) . Should we delete this too? _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484

Is it possible to talk to "Blue Coat" and remove commons from their blacklist. btw, there are pictures on commons that can easily go in the porn category. Some serious admin work is needed there.

So I spent the afternoon doing some research on this matter [on my phone], and learnt that it isn't the network admin who has blocked the site. The so called security software, Blue Coat, in this case, tags the Commons as Media download site. So blocking sites in this category, blocks Commons, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, MetaCafe, etc. Similarily, there are some which categorise the Commons as 'Pornography' ...
